I Scream Clone Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 Good to see the new sets are turning up. Welcome to the Aussie thread Kenny. I scoured my local Kmarts and Big W south of Sydney, but no luck on new sets. Kmart hasn't further reduced their mark downs yet either. The price diff vs US almost makes it worth buying whole collections of themes from BL. As for TRU's prices being the same as S@H, thats because they are the inflated prices. I actually expect Battle packs to still be $20 at normal retailers vs TRU etc.
kenny3011 Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 Hmm, I better get to my Kmart to see if there are any deals there Grr havent seen the Landspeeder yet, might have to order from S@H
peterab Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 Toy story, 2010 Star Wars, and some of the brick boxes are turning up in Melbourne stores. All the above have been seen at Northland Target & TRU.
Margim Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 Was out and about last night in the Melbourne heat. At the customer service desk at the 24 hr K-mart Burwood there was one Death Star marked clearance for $475. I can't afford it still, but perhaps someone else can.
lightningtiger Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 OH YEAH (Chef Mundal - Chowder) SCORE ! (Ben - Ben 10 Alien Force) Target Newton S.A. Entire January Releases (except Luke's Landspeeder) I put the Freeco and Woody's Roundup on Layby and purchased 8083 Rebel BP - COOL ! Prices equal to that of S@H though.
Noodles140 Posted January 13, 2010 Posted January 13, 2010 Just visited Target Perth City store. They have the new SW sets and new Toy Story sets. No new City/Town or Space Police or Atlantis sets yet. Also had some of the small Racers sets, but I didn't bother with those. Prices: TOY STORY 7590 $35 (Woody & Buzz to the Rescue racing car) 7591 $40 (Construct-a-Zurg) 7592 $50 (Construct-a-Buzz) 7593 $60 (Buzz's Star Command Spaceship) 7594 $100 (Woody's Roundup) 7595 $23 (Army Men) STAR WARS 8083 $23 (Rebel Hoth Battlepack) 8084 $23 (Imperial Hoth Battlepack) 8085 $50 (Freeco Speeder) 8086 $50 (Tri-fighter) 8087 $90 (TIE Defender) 8088 $110 (Arc-170) Prices were all round dollars, i.e. $23 not $22.95, which I found a bit weird. I also visited the David Jones and Myer stores but they have no no new sets at all. Looks like Big W is the place to shop so far... - - - - - Noodles
WetWired Posted January 13, 2010 Posted January 13, 2010 Bricks to the world has toy story in stock now too, just ordered myself 3 soldier packs and a buzz and woody to the rescue :) Prices seem to match those above http://bttw.com.au/legoshop/index.php?main...ex&cPath=36 I wish they had a pack of those aliens though :(
dotmike Posted January 13, 2010 Posted January 13, 2010 (edited) Just got back from Big W at Macquarie Park (Sydney, NSW). They have most of the Jan 2010 Star Wars and Toy Story sets in. Whats surprising is that the prices is a bit lower than the shop@home price. (about 10% - 15% cheaper!). Here is what I saw - please don't quote me on them as I don't remember the exact prices: Thanks for the tip - well worth going! Big W Rockdale (Sydney) also has them in. Just filling in the blanks for the Big W prices for the Toy Story series: 7595 Army Men $22.95 RRP, Big W = $19.76 7590 Woody & Buzz to the Rescue racing car $34.95 RRP, Big W = $29.67 7592 Construct-a-Buzz $49.95 RRP, Big W = $44.67 7593 Buzz's Star Command Spaceship $59.95 RRP, Big W = $54.66 7594 Woody's Roundup $99.95 RRP, Big W = $88.76 Didn't see Construct-a-Zurg at Rockdale.

d00dz Posted January 13, 2010 Posted January 13, 2010 Cant wait for the sales to come in! Easter sale??
Patty Posted January 13, 2010 Posted January 13, 2010 Has anyone seen the new line up of City Fire come through to any of the chains yet? I can't wait to get a hold of some of those sets!!!!
Svelte Posted January 13, 2010 Posted January 13, 2010 Has anyone seen the new line up of City Fire come through to any of the chains yet? I can't wait to get a hold of some of those sets!!!! From the catalogue and what lightningtiger says, not until later in the year (post June). bttw has some fire sets, but all marked up heftily which would tend to suggest this is true.
lightningtiger Posted January 13, 2010 Posted January 13, 2010 Hi Folks ! Looks like Target and TRU got the special treatment - except Luke's Landspeeder - Modbury & Gepps Cross TRU's don't have that one. It's interesting that Target & TRU charge about the same amounts for everything - odd ? Pick up the Imp. Snowtropper pack tonight - quick build but a handy one in Hoth. I'm still trying to pull information from my various locations - the only thing today I found out will be posted in City 2010 page. I'm a conformist! !
eli_77 Posted January 13, 2010 Posted January 13, 2010 Thanks for the tip - well worth going! Big W Rockdale (Sydney) also has them in. No worries, at those prices I'm buying my Toy Story and Star Wars sets at Big W now rather than to wait for a Kmart/Target sale off the RRP. As a side question - do you remember if you saw Agents 8967 Gold Tooths Getaway at Rockdale Big W? I'm trying to find this set but every store I've been to have sold out of them.
d00dz Posted January 13, 2010 Posted January 13, 2010 Any technic sets yet? I want the 8041 and waiting for a retail shop like Kmart to have it. Got a few vouchers to use. :)
lightningtiger Posted January 13, 2010 Posted January 13, 2010 Any technic sets yet?I want the 8041 and waiting for a retail shop like Kmart to have it. Got a few vouchers to use. :) Sorry to tell you 'Doodz' but Kmart maybe still waiting a while for new stock - in fact I have spoken to at least five workers at various Kmarts - they are all dying to get fresh stocks - Hmm race truck eh, I might make a call tomorrow (if I remember haha I do forget things - must be my 41 year old brain).
hollisbrick Posted January 13, 2010 Posted January 13, 2010 I got the snow trooper BP today and it's awesome, pricey...but good.
jonwil Posted January 13, 2010 Posted January 13, 2010 Was in K-Mart Booragoon today and they had the following: 5899 House Building Set Rebel battle pack Snowtrooper battle pack Freeco speeder Droid Tri-Fighter TIE Defender ARC-170 Starfighter plus the 4 small Tiny Turbos sets (numbers 8192,8193,8194,8195) No Toy Story or City though I was also in Toyworld Fremantle and they had no new stock at all. They DID however have a few copies of the previous fire station (just the station, no other sets that I saw). And they arent the only Toyworld that has stock. My guess is that this is why Lego Australia are delaying the Fire product until the middle of the year, namely that there is still stock of previous fire product out there. No sign of any new product at all in either of the 2 MYER stores I was in today.
WetWired Posted January 14, 2010 Posted January 14, 2010 Brisbane Target CBD has the Toy Story sets in stock now too, picked up build a buzz this morning, prices seem to match shop@home and BTTW I think someone has cleared them out of army men sets already though as there was only 6 left and a big empty shelf next to them, they had tons of buzz and woody to the rescue sets though, a fair few build a buzz's, a couple of zergs and I could only see one western playset
DarthSion Posted January 14, 2010 Posted January 14, 2010 LOL sounds like some of you guys got screwed, I got both Hoth BP today both the same price of $18.67c from BigW in Calamvale, Brisbane
kenny3011 Posted January 14, 2010 Posted January 14, 2010 Ahh my Kmart is crap No new 2010 sets yet, they only had a TONNE of Midi Falcons (hehe might go on discount soon ) and the 09 BPs
d00dz Posted January 14, 2010 Posted January 14, 2010 Went to Myers SYD CBD and all the shelves with lego were empty!! I guess getting ready for new stock Also DJ's at CBD had like 5 technic sets the rest was empty!
jonwil Posted January 14, 2010 Posted January 14, 2010 MYER Perth CBD still had a fair bit of stock but Garden City had mostly empty shelves.
Turtle Posted January 15, 2010 Posted January 15, 2010 For those in Adelaide... K-Mart at Tea Tre Plaza had one copy of 10188 Death Star on sale for $475 (it was sitting at their front desk).
